Apple has announced that it plans to totally switch over to renewable sources of energy for all of its holdings worldwide. Currently the technology company receives 87% of its energy from renewable energy. Apple Chief executive Tim Cook has said that this goal will take Apple years to accomplish, but the end result is worth it .

The company also hopes that this move will improve its environmental footprint in China. This is especially when considering China's heavy reliance on fossil fuels. Apple has been previously criticized for the footprint it's manufacturing chains leave.

Do you think Apple's new 100% renewable energy goal will be sustainable in the long run or will this move encourage further companies worldwide to change over to renewable energy?
